Example #1 Yaf_Application::app() example

<?php
/* index.php, the application entry */
$config = new Yaf_Config_Ini(__DIR__ . "/conf/application.ini", "product");
$application = new Yaf_Application($config);
$application->bootstrap()->run();
?>

Example #2 Retrieving the application instance elsewhere

<?php
class IndexController extends Yaf_Controller_Abstract
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        /* Yaf_Application::app() is an alias of getInstance() */
        $app = Yaf_Application::app();

        var_dump($app->environ());
        var_dump(Yaf_Application::getInstance() === $app);

        return false;
    }
}
?>

The above example will output something similar to:

string(7) "product"
bool(true)
